What is it that I am?
Having spent most of my waking and indeed unconscious life submerged in my imagination, I did choose, at an early age, to share my creative musing with the world at large by putting them down on paper either in text or in my preferred medium: images. My Brother was a great influence on my drawing and sketching everything I saw in the real world as well as in my own mind's landscape, I simply loved to create.
I soon found myself excelling in Art and Design classes and went on to specialise in the subject throughout Post 16 with the sight to go on to further education in the same. However illness struck me down in the form of a rare condition called Wilson's Disease that took a hold of my nervous system, preventing me from fine control of my hands.
Undeterred I simply changed tack and started honing my artistic skills on PhotoShop and Illustrator. I took freelance jobs for private clients including all logo designs, adverts, flyers, price lists and stationary for a local Beauty Salon. Currently I am working full time for a Post Graduate Law Training Company (Central Law Training) as an in house Graphic Designer producing some of their adverts, logos, flyer also maintaining their website.
So what is this place?
This is my oh-so-humble offering designed with my loving
hand to showcase some of my prefer digital art work.

I have been so neglectful of this site I actually began taking steps to take it offline entirely with a view to rewriting it a fresh. I figured I needed a project to work on outside of my boring, souless day job and this would even benefit my job hunting...
...But then a miracle happened! Last August I was offered a full time position as graphic designer for one of my freelance clients. He matched my current wage and promised me creative freedom in the role. Needless to say I took the job and haven't looked back since.
This did, however, remove the urgency to rewrite this site and I am ashamed to say I still haven't done anything to updated it... Until now that is. "Why now?" I hear you ask. Well, quite out of the blue I received an email via my website from a school teacher who said she and her class were searching the internet for web design resources and came across this site. She said her class thought my Links page could benefit from my adding a link to a page they found particularly helpful. I was flattered they took the time to look at my site and even more so that they cared enough to contact me to share their experience.
So please check of the new web resource link on my Links page curtesy of Sandy Fiato and the students of Bright Futures Charter School.
Thanks guys.
